Icelandic national team goalkeeper Elias-Rafn Olafsson commented on his team’s performance in the 2026 emergency match against Ukraine (0:2).

" The world of skin damage at the world championship, and now this world has appeared.

It’s not our fault to miss such easy goals. We will need to analyze this match. I didn’t realize that the Ukrainians were close to scoring, before the first ball hit the net.

We were under a great pressure, but I didn’t respect the unsafe moments of the assembled Ukraine. This is football,” says Olafsson mbl. is.
